Extra notes:

• The Calchaquí Valley, where Inca Malbec is grown, is renowned for its extreme viticultural conditions, producing only about 2% of Argentina’s wine but claiming a disproportionate share of its awards due to the natural concentration and character of its wines.
• Inca Malbec is produced by COOVIAGRO, a cooperative of small producers in the Calchaquí Valley dedicated to crafting high-end wines. A portion of the proceeds from every Inca Wine purchase is donated to support education in rural schools and provide equipment for health centers and ambulances in the region.
